What people are saying about Hessen

Such a great trip, so good we decided to add another

This tour was so great. Honestly, Willy was the best tour guide ever. He was funny and charismatic, and knew like everything about German history, current German culture, and the history of the town we went to. He was so engaging. We went by bus to Heidelberg, and walked around the town and then he brought us up to the castle. He was so good my friend and I were sold on going on the tour they had that evening, to a wine tasting and cruise on the Rhine. The weather was terrible, but I'm glad we went, and he was our guide again for that tour. When I come back, which is hopefully soon, I will absolutely do a tour with them again, and hopefully we will get him as a tour guide. ~Kristen B.

Informative and fun tour, wish it was longer

I really enjoyed the tour. Our guide, Adrian, was fantastic. As charming a city Heidelberg is, hearing its history from him definitely added to the experience. The way he tells stories of historical figures with lots of humour and heart reminded me of my favourite history teacher.
We were lucky to have nice weather, as well.
The bus was comfortable and clean and the drive was smooth.
I only wish we had more time to explore the city during the second half of the tour. I look forward to doing another tour when I visit the area again.

Excellent guide, knowledgeable, personable and very patient

Re: patient, some if the tour guests were late at all meeting points , some spoke on their telephone while the guide was speaking to the group and she did not react- perhaps as an organization, you could strongly suggest that when a guide is speaking, one should abstain from making telephone calls or looking at videos-so rude and so disrespectful. Unfortunately, manners appear to be lacking in this world of ours!

Small tour filled with unique facts about Heidelberg

The tour I attended was part of a small group (there were 4 of us total, including our guide Patricia). This style of tour is one I prefer, as you are not part of a massive group like the other touring companies we encountered at Schloss Heidelberg. We had a chance to walk around the town centre as well as by the old bridge, and briefly listened to the organ being played during mass at the Protestant church.

The tour guide was so passionate about the trip we had a great time.

Best tour guide who is passionate and knowledgeable. The only comment I have is that I think we needed more time to explore the Rothenburg old town. Three hours including lunch hour is a little too tight. I would suggest extending it for half an hour to an hour so that there is at least 3 solid hours exploring the town plus an hour lunch.
